General Information

UPDATE ON THE INSTALLATION OF THE ARTIFICIAL TURF (SOCCER FIELD AND PRE-SCHOOL AREAS) - 

Students may use tennis shoes, rubber-cleated soccer shoes, or other soft footwear. Everyone should be aware that high-heeled shoes are very damaging to this turf, and women should bring an extra pair of shoes if they wish to enter of these areas. Thank you.  (Dr. Ketterer)
